Child&#39;s garment



finemben-such flap being either at the front o 'rfrean/ in 'theconstruction illustrated, accordingly as said member 1s unbuttoned atsuliicient to permit of the required changing lef its companion rear ofthe diaper, which opening may be somewhat further enlarged temper: rilyif deemed advisable by slightly turning back the lower end of the frontportion 10 ot' the body meinber, as Shown. lt will be noticed that whenthe garment is opened up by the raising and turning down of the flap'formed by the upper part of the portion l2 the gussets are so drawn outas to form effective guards or shields at the sides of the opening andthus "act to very ellectively protect the infants body from drafts. ()t'course, the same shielding effect is secured il? only the rear flap islet down, but the front flap is the one that will ordinarily be openedup as it is beneath that that the diaper fastenings are or dinarilyplaced, and it is in the protection at thattime ot the abdomen Jfrom aircurrents that the shielding ell'ect of the gussets is ol' greatestvalue. lllhen the lower garment member is buttoned up in place Jach ofthe gussets 13 will naturally fold over upon itself and in thatcondition it will very completely and eilectually close the space 'ronithe point where the sewed-together margins olil the portions lik-1Q endto substantially the waist line. Thus each gusset in its folded togethercondition acts to clos what would otherwise be a long` opening at theside that would be apt to admit cold air upon the infants tender body.

Turning new to the other feature thatv characterizes my improved garmentit will be noted that the front part of each of the leg,- sections ofthe portion lf) is longer lthan part by a sullicient amount of materialto constitute the upper part of a foot covering, such upper partv`designated by '12", having its. outer end cut on a curve to approximatethe toe ol an ordinary foot covering. The rear part oi each of 'the legsections of the portion lil is eut olif on a straight line clearly shownin Fig. il, andl to that straight marginal portion thus :formed is seweda corresponding straight marginal portion of a sole member. This solemember is formed from a piece of cloth shaped as in Fig. the st aightend margin there shown being the margin that is above referred to as.being sewed to one of the straightends of a leg member l2, The solemember, indi 'ated generally by Ill, is shaped, to conform to the shapeot the upper toot part lil t which it is sewcd along ils edges. Fo givea semblance ol` "l'oot-i-zhape the part l is folded upon itselflongitudinally and at its rear where, so folded it is stitched togetheris clearly shown in Figkh o, which stitching holds the cloth sulicientlyin shape lo resemble and act as a loot covering somewhat after the styleof a moccasin` and, il will be noted, leaving the under portion o1' soleproper wholly seamless. where formed as' shown and described. This paril'lin addi-- tion to constituting the sole proper also l'orms for thegreater portion of ils leugih the sides of the loot covering.

lly my invention l provide a garment which will inclosi an inlaiu, fromils noch downward and protect all paris ol its bod-\ and limbs from dral'ts or cold air, bul` which can be readily opened l'iom time lo linieto permit ol.l making the required changes olI diapers, and at suchlimes will also acl` in large measure to protect it from dra l'ls andcold air.

lllhat l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patentis@- 1. childs garment comprising in com binalion a body member and atrousers meniber, said two members being dciachabli connected togetherat both Jihe l'ronl and rear of the garment and said trousers memberbeing divided along each oi ils sides l'or :i limited distance downwardi'i'oni ils upper edge whereby I'ront und rear [laps are formed. eitherol' which may be disconnected from the body member and lurned downwithout disturbing the connection oll the other` and a loldable gussetat each side con neeting together the marginal portions olE the twollaps and closing the triniserr-L incinber at that place but,perinilling the iurning down o'l' either llap.

2. fr childs garment comprising in coni-y bination a body member and atrousers inem` benv said trousers member comprising iront and rearpiecesT the leg portions ol' said l'ronl piece being longer than thereai piece lo form extensions to piojccl, over ille l'cci ol' thewearer, and sole pieces cach scwcd lo the margins olE one ol' saidextensions; and also to the lower margin oi lhe rear and shorler portionoll the leg piece. the rear ol' the said sole piece being iolded uponilseli' and sewed together along such l'old lo approximately shape thesole piece to the lool' ol' the wearer.
